Shibetsu Salmon Science Museum

The Shibetsu Salmon Science Museum is Japan's only aquarium specializing in salmonid fish. In autumn, you can observe salmon swimming upstream up close from the fish ladder observation room inside the museum, and the "finger sucking experience" where sturgeon suck on your fingers is a unique attraction found only here. In the large aquarium, salmon and trout swim gracefully, and through the exhibits you can learn about the salmon's life cycle and Hokkaido's fishing culture. This is a facility that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults.
